Hey there Meek. You should have been with us, we had a blast....discounting the shock of having Queen Sheila walk less than 4 feet behind you. LOL

[RikaStrom]

You got some wonderful pics. I was in awe of the creativity of the signs I saw. :-)

Glad to have you with us, and hope you come to play more often.

Did you see the guy that got escourted off the stage? He was in the crowd a few minutes prior to that and walked right past us. He was carrying a briefcase and he held up a newspaper and seemed to be signaling somebody. Everyone he walked by looked at him and a few of us started talking about him. We were concerned. You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach that someone is up to no good? Before I could go alert the police, 2 HPD offiers went by me and I told them that he seemed to be signaling someone. They escorted him out of the crowd and then a few minutes later, they had to escort him off the stage. Really weird. Just wondered if anyone knew what that was all about.

Quick note - I think it was Ron H who heard a lady call Queen Sheila a Commie. That was my mom's buddy Anita - a staunch conservative who hasn't quite found her way yet, but at least she found her way downtown - the first time she ever tried!
Way to go, Anita!

Lysol works wonders I hear!!!

Kudos to you girlfriend!!!!

[Humidston]

Welcome home TexasRainmaker! Relax, enjoy yourself because you are among FRiends!!!

Eaker, thanks for the link. Good article and I already FReeped the poll, lol!

[Humidston]

GROSS! And I missed it. DANG! The guy sounds like a real nut case - which doesn't suprise me much for downtown Houston. Thank goodness the police got him stopped.

You have FReepmail.... ;-)

Welcome to the fold. I, of course love all the Freeper names, but TexasRainmaker, now that’s interesting. We are endeavoring to expand our local chapter membership, and the connotation your name has is well, interesting. Freepmail me, or go to our local site HoustonLiberty.com. Flyer runs it, and he can fill you in on all the details.

You have to understand the LIBS mind set. you OVER report their rallies, and UNDER report Conservative rallies.

[Fledermaus]

I don't know about anyone else, but aren't you guys sick and tired of hearing the morons on the left call our rallies "PRO-WAR" rallies???

And Eric Alterman and the rest say there is "no left wing bias in the media"? Come on!

These same jerks get their panties in a bunch of we call their precious "peace" rallies "ANTI-AMERICAN" rallies.

Of course, these same idiots call us "anti-choice" instead of pro-life and get ticked off if we call them "pro-abortion".

But then again, they don't know what the meaning of the word "is" is!

[RikaStrom]

No, I missed that. From where I was standing I could see the podium, and I could see some of the backstage area (I was next the Statue of Liberty statue) so my field of vision was somewhat blocked.

I wonder what that was all about. Although after the HPD escorted Queen Shill to the stage one of the officers that was leaving wasn't sure how to get through the throng to the exit. Poor guy, being in her presence made him want to leave. LOL

[RikaStrom]

LOL. Sis, there wasn't enough lysol for that creature.... but the anethestic features of the beer afterwards did help. We're still shaking our collective heads about the Big BRASS Ones that female has. Good grief.
